Flight B features Greenhill v. Canyon Creek. Kayser's fall runner up is one loss away from watching the playoffs from the sidelines if they don't score the upset. They are good enough to do it though, but my fav team Canyon Creek will be hard to beat.
LB v. Gleneagles should be good as well, isn't this about the time of the season Gleneagles starts to fade..........
Flight A and C are pretty boring if the big boys don't care of biz this weekend it would be a shocker. But it will be intersesting to see what tourney player heavy Oakridge has left to throw out this weekend.
You are a week early on the CC/Greenhill match.
ReplyDeleteMay 31 has a very uninteresting bunch of matches for level 3.5. However, the following week will be good.
ReplyDeleteJUNE 7
The BIG one:
Life Time vs Oak Creek
Also good:
Greenhill/Kayser vs Canyon Creek/Jolly
Might Be Interesting:
Garland vs Westlake
High Point vs Canyon Creek/Carmen
Everyone thinks the 6/7 match Life Time vs Oak Creek will tough.
ReplyDeleteActually it will be a "walk in the park" win for Life Time. You all will be amazed at how easily we crush Oak Creek. A 4-1 or 5-0 butt kicking is certain!
- Wouldn't You Like To Know
Lifetime goes down this week!!! They are a OVER RATED.
ReplyDeleteDo they even have anyone that can play singles? and win? Seriously!!! 6-0 6-0! You think they could put out a better singles player than that. I sure hope that was not the best they got. That one was a laugher.
All of our matches have been close against the top teams. Even Oak Creek was closer than the score appeared.
This week, LB Houston gets back on the map! Lifetime loses 4-1 this week and goes back and sulks and cries for the rest of the season!!!
Sorry Lifetime, reputation doesn't win matches. Both lines of singles and 2 lines of Doubles are going to get CRUSHED. Lifetime loses 4-1
LIFE TIME, YOU ARE GOING DOWN!
ReplyDeleteOakridge whipped you guys like dogs and we beat Oakridge. You guys won't win a single line against us.
Your team will be lucky to make the QT. You guys are a couple years away from being a strong team.
Now that I look at the record, I predict that Lifetime FINISHES 6TH in the division.
ReplyDeleteThey can't beat LB Houston, Oak Creek, or Brookhaven, and drop 3 of their next 4 matches for a pathetic finish.
OAK CREEK . . .
ReplyDeleteYOU WILL FEEL THE WRATH OF GOD ON 6/7 !!!
oops, sorry I guess I was looking ahead, 3.5 is really boring this weekend then. Still looking forward to that GH/CC match, should be a good one on 6/7
ReplyDeleteJolly wins against Garland. I remember how good those 2 were at Pacific life. That is 1 win right there.
ReplyDeleteI would love to say I crushed Jacques but neither of played that well but I guess I played a little uglier and was able to win in 3 sets. The first set he came up blasting big serves and winners and I was about to get ready to taste a bagel but somehow I was able to stave off the first big wave and start to frustrate him. I ended up winning with one break of serve 6-3. The second set for some odd reason I wanted to stop playing ugly and find my strokes which eluded me in the first set, Jacques took advantage of my quest for a pretty tennis game and gave me a bagel, yikes what is up with me and giving out bagels in these challenge matches.
ReplyDelete3rd set: Jacques broke me in the first game and then held serve. So he won a total of 8 straight games. I truly wanted to call it a day but Jacques kind of let me back in with a few bad points and I was able to run off the next 6 games to win 6-2.
Jacques is an interesting player and a hard match up for me because he has a lot of variety which is probably why he does well against many people. I don’t think it is a secret I am a counterpuncher and with Jacques that is a hard strategy to employ since he doesn’t necessarily attack all the time and likes to come to net and uses the drop shot well.
We look forward to playing again soon.
Dirty Garland Goes Down!
ReplyDeleteLucky Thunder,
I'm coming for you next!
Right after I take care of Darth Prather tonight!
OC-Wan Kenobi
I would love to play you and Prather. I need a little rest, I think I strained my groin in the 1st set last night on a volley.
ReplyDeleteWhat you think about the new Dirty Garland additions? Jerry Defeo and Glenn Flora. The first one I found a pic online, he is a contractor in Garland, no tennis history found yet. Flora sounds like an exotic plant fount off the coast of Mozambique but no tennis history found yet either.
Make sure you check "De feo" and "Glen" with one n.
ReplyDeleteYou know how Garland is.
Looks like everyone is trying to add someone for the play-off push.
Apparently,
ReplyDeleteGlen Flora is 60 miles southwest of Houston

Cary,
ReplyDeleteGood match! I came out hard and wanted to apply the pressure but you threw some great lobs and moved me more than I like. You forced me to work harder and consequently tired me out the first set and never allowed me to get into any rythym. I thought for sure the way I played the first 2 games was going to be the tempo. Man, you slowed the game down and played very smart...Kuddos! (sp?) You played a game that caused me to hit alot of unforced errors and the second set I was patient and waited for better opportunities..but in the end you played smarter..I look forward to more matches to come. I had a good time!

ReplyDeleteWell Well Well OC BL I guess Darth Prather showed you he has a bigger light saver than you...I heard it was a great match!!!!maybe next time you should take a little off your chest before you play....
ReplyDeleteLISA
Last time I checked females are not allowed on this board,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the match
You had more game than I expected
OC BL I thought it was better to put my name down instead of those who use anonymous. It is sad if a woman writing on the blog is not allowed. It is an honor for me to be supportive of my man. Lisa
ReplyDeletesorry Lisa but Marc is right we passed an official rule at some point early in November of 2007.
ReplyDeleteLucky Thunder will not be so kind to Darth Prather. I don't believe in long matches, I will finish him in 1 1/2 hours.
So Cary, is that an official challenge? If so I accept. I'm going to Waco tomorrow evening and I won't be back, hopefully until Sun. night, so this week-end is out, but let me know when and where and we'll work out a time. Thanks, David
ReplyDelete(aka Darth Prather)
Darth Prather!!!! That was a good one! And DP is even tall too!! His voice needs to be a little deeper, but... maybe your new tennis attire should be all black? with maybe a cape? something to think about. And this whole time I thought DP stood for David Prather.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteBlog all you want. It was just an insensitive remark and in jest. you have to know Marc to know that he dint mean it. I think it was tennis defense mechanism kicking in, cause he feels like is already a 4.0.
Marc, you ready for your TuTu match? I won't even make you wear it at our USTA match, as that is too important. BUT, I will be three to witness you wear it at your next USTA Match.
good win over J Marcus Brian, I was going to play you for an easy win. I guess I need some more practice before I challenge you.
ReplyDeleteHey big time 3.5 captains just wondering if anyone has started scouting other 3.5 sectional reps. I know the DCC will be tough but by this time last year I was already compiling stats on Waco, Houston, etc. Looks like many leagues are already decided including Waco, Austin and NETX. I know some of you have been throwing at the word Nationals and I would love to see one of you make it but make sure your rosters are ready to go. Sisk added some pieces and hopefully they are good enough to improve over the 2007 team that didn't advance out of their flight.
ReplyDeleteI know some of you are still fishing for players and hopefully some names pan out for you all.

Dear oc/bl you better start playing matches against other players other than the Oak Ridge Boys they seem to have your number.Good match against Prather but not good enough.
ReplyDeleteI beat'em when it counts,
ReplyDeleteother wise it's just for fun.

ReplyDeleteUpset - High Point over Brookhaven,
ReplyDeleteNice Darth Prather Pic! Lifetime gets lucky, and gets past LB Houston. Match was much closer than the score represents. Just 1 or 2 points difference and the match could have gone either way.
ReplyDeleteQuite an upset loss by Brookhaven.
HP/Jameson's singles' woes continue too. They beat a bad Hackberry team 3-2. They lost 1 singles badly and took a 3rd set tiebreak to get the other win. They have to be the worst undefeated ever.
ReplyDeleteTheir doubles continue to carry them and they lost 1 line of doubles. Parekh, Harrison, Chan and Wiley were not playing. If they were, they probably win that line. Nevertheless, those singles are going to come back and bite them. None of those players would make a differnce at singles.
Correction HP won line 1 doubles and lost line 2 doubles.
ReplyDeleteYes Mr. Anonymous 6:58pm get your facts straight. Line 2 lost not line 1. You made a lot assumptions based on that one mistake. I took a look at HP's players. I'm not am sure that there aren't any sleeping dogs. My guess is that when the time comes the better line-ups will play as always.
ReplyDeleteLifetime has the fewest games lost in dallas. Oak Creek,Lifetime,Garland best in city!!!!
ReplyDeleteanother big surprise is Sbridge losing to Samuel Grand, that really hurts in their tough flight with two losses now
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Stan's and Lou's team for upsetting Brookhaven today. That is a good win and Andrew didn't even play I think it would have been 4-1 if Sutherland was able to play some singles today.
ReplyDeleteNot a huge upset since I played with those guys for a couple of seasons and I think we had a couple of wins over them before.
It must have been a slow 3.5 week if you guys are talking about the HP/Jameson team instead of focusing on the real top 3.5 teams like Garland, Oak Creek, Oakridge, Lifetime/Ferrell, and possibly CC/Jolly from Flight B.
ReplyDeleteAll Garland has to do is make sure they don't pick up any red flags the rest of the season, especially against HP/J. With Brookhavens loss, it looks like they've dropped out of contention for one of the top 3 spots in Flight C. So, that leaves the winner of FLight C, most likely Oakcreek getting a bye from the QT. Then Oakridge and LF/Ferrell will have to fight it out at the QT to get to the championship round. But even then it will probably come down to Garland and Oakcreek for the City Championship.
CC/Jolly from flight B could be the fly in the ointment since no one seems to know much about them and no one is paying any attention to them. They could surprise.
Does anybody want to claim George Hardwick should be playing 4.0 now? There are other players to worry about.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Hardwick?
ReplyDeleteTheir scores are still not posted or has Sisk told you before the scores were reported?
Big L
ReplyDeleteThe Big L? It happens to all of us and some of us more than others. I am sure he will be fine.
ReplyDeleteI am calling CC/Jolly a non factor.
ReplyDeleteand the Men Saturday 3.5B div crap.
CC/Jolly had more or less the same team last season and finished up 3 - 5 in their Div behind giants like OC and HP.
I don't see a team in Div B that could hang with OC, HP, Garland, OakRidge, or Liftime
If you are so confident in your opinion - post your name
ReplyDeleteBottom line is that only two of those teams will go directly to cities and the other will be trying to survive the QT.
At least two of them won't even make it to the big dance.
In the end only the two that make it to sctionals have anything to brag about all the rest will have fallen short.
Tennis brains worried about george and vinnie! See how stupid you are!anybody posting about anybody they don't know is stupid.Show it on the court! c u at sectionals!
ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't Oak Ridge posted their scores yet from Saturday? Is it possible that they lost??
ReplyDeleteInquiring anonymous minds would like to know. :-)
There are some interesting matchups this week after a week of the most mundane matchups in history.
ReplyDeleteThe BIG ONE:
OC v Lifetime: Truthfully, I like LT in this one but OC BL will certainly disagree. This should be an outstanding matchup and I do not expect any 5-0 whippings. I think they will split singles and LT's doubles and I think LT's doubles are alittle better. OC should win 3-2.
CC/Jolly v GH/Kayser. I like CC but this could be a tough match. I like CC 3-2 or 4-1. This is a deep flight. It may not have the depth of heavyweights like Flight C but it has few really bad teams like the other flights.
HP/Jimison v CC/Carman
This is not as good a match as OC/LT but it is intriguing between 2 teams that are likely headed to the QT. I think we finally find out what HP has; until now, they have been able to win by showing up. CC needs this to have any hope of winning the flight. They need help, but a win here and there is hope.
Garland v Westlake
I doubt Garland has any trouble but if they play bad, it could be a shocker. Westlake needs this win and a CC loss to see the post season. With a loss, Westlake is probably eliminated from any post season.
Oak Ridge rescheduled their match with Greenhill, For this weekend due to the fact that they all went to Waco,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the rules are governing that, But if that was my team I would probably have given OR a Hard time,
But Greenhill is not in contention so probably does not matter.
gtown all the way!c u in august!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! G-Town!!! My Boyz!
